EAD
AP
you will be applying for EAD under category (c)(9)
further you do not have to pay any fees for filing I-765. see instructions for I-765 page 8 section titled Renewal EAD
when to renew EAD?
To extend an employment authorization card, an application for renewal must be filed around 90 days prior to the expiration date printed on the card. An application for renewal of a work permit must be filed and accepted by the USCIS prior to the expiration of the card that was initially granted to the applicant. Applicants must remember that they cannot file applications for renewal more than 120 days before their original permits expire.

more on EAD/AP:
Q4. If I receive this card, does that guarantee my re-entry into the United States if I travel?
A4. No. This card authorizes parole, not admission, to the U.S. Parole is not an admission or “entry”. If you obtain this card, you may use it to travel abroad and return to the U.S. Upon arriving at a port-of-entry, you should present the card to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer to request parole. Issuance of an Advance Parole document does not guarantee that CBP will parole you into the U.S. If parole is granted, you will be permitted to come into the U.S. as a parolee, but will not have been ‘admitted”. Individuals who have been unlawfully present in the U.S. and subsequently depart and seek re-entry through a grant of parole may be inadmissible and ineligible to adjust their status.

Note: Just as a practice, I put each application in a manilla envelope and write the name, A# and form number on the outside for each applicant. Then I put all of the envelopes in a courier package (FedEx, UPS, Express Mail) and send it to the USCIS. I’ve never had a problem with that approach and none of the applications have ever been lost or separated.
Note:If u are applying Combo Card, Pls send Both the documents (I-131 (AP) & I-765 (EAD)) to I-765-EAD address..
Here is Cover letter Sample for both EAD and AP:
